She couldn't tell anyone.
They'd kill her... or worse, rape her all over again.
She couldn't go to the nurse, then the Head Mistress would find out.
And her parents, dear Oz, her parents would find out!
How could she ever face them if they knew their precious daughter was no longer pure? That she was dirty. Filthy. Tainted. Not worthy to be called an Upland of the Upper Uplands."If only..." a sob escaped her and she shivered, she held herself tightly, trying to feel something other then pain and guilt. "If only I was a little stronger... just a little bit stronger, I could have stopped them."
"You're a slut," a voice said.
The blonde gasped and looked up, standing before her was Fiyero. She looked about, no longer was she in her dorm, she was in a black room in a little wooden chair and a bright light in her face."You're nothing but a filthy hussy," he said.
"No! I didn't want to," Glinda shouted. "I said no!"
"How could we have raised you?" her Momsie said, and Glinda sprang up from her chair, the wooden piece of furniture falling on it's side.
"No, Momsie! I'm not... I didn't...!"
"How could you have let that happen?" her Popsical said in disgust.
"Popsical, please!" Glinda begged as sobs raked through her, "Please listen to me! I didn't want it to happen! I said no, I really did! Popsical... Momsie! NO! Please don't walk away!" Glinda ran after her parents who turned their backs to the blonde. She ran and ran, but found her legs unable to keep up with the adults as they vanished from sight.
"You deserve what happened to you." Fiyero said. "you were asking for it, just like they said."
Glinda shuddered and sobbed, covering her ears. She didn't want to hear this, she felt so alone, so hated, so filthy."You are such a tease, always wearing those skirts to show off your legs."
She didn't even know who was talking, and she didn't care. She sobbed and fell to the ground, words filled with hatred were thrown at her and cut her like knifes.
"What are you crying for?"
Glinda gasped and looked up at a familiar face, the green stone face of her best friend. "Elphie..." she cried and stood up, rushing to her arms and hugging her, "Elphie!"
"Sweet Oz, Glinda! You're filthy!" Elphaba said and pushed the blonde off of her. "Don't touch me!"
Glinda felt her heart braking in two. "No, Elphie, no not you too!" she begged, tears flowing freely and her cheeks red, "I'm not a slut, I'm not!""You're worse," Elphaba said. The ground under the blonde began to shake, and open up whole, and she fell, and fell and fell. She fell into arms, and she looked up in horror at the face of the one who held her and she screamed.
"Glinda...Glinda...GLINDA!"
Glinda screamed a scream that would pierce the hardest Gale Force officer's blood. Her eyes snapped open from her nightmare and she gasped for air, her head snapping back and forth and her eyes darting about the room. She was back in her dorm, and her screams had shocked her roommate.
"Glinda, what the hell was that about?" Elphaba asked. "Good Oz, you sounded like someone was killing you... Glinda...?"
Glinda was hunched over into a ball and was crying so hard, she was hyperventilating. Elphaba quickly stood from her bed and hurried over to her roommate's side. "Glinda? It's alright... it was just a nightmare, you're alright now."
"I'm dirty," Glinda sobbed.
"That's nothing to cry about, you silly girl." Elphaba said, wrapping her arms around the shivering girl, but Glinda pushed Elphaba away and crawled away, falling off the bed and cowering in the corner.Now, Elphaba knew that sometimes Glinda had "scary" nightmares about her dresses being ruined, someone in her family dieing or the such, but this was different, severely different and Elphaba was shocked to see faint spots of blood staining Glinda's white sheet. "Glinda, what's wrong, what happened? Sweet Oz, Glinda you're bleeding!"
Glinda would not answer, nor could she answer. She was shaking violently, and then vomited onto the hardwood floor when the images of her dream plagued her.
Elphaba sprang into action, grabbing Glinda despite objection from the blonde and bringing her into the bathroom. "I'm getting a nurse, and you had better stay put!" Elphaba demanded and went to stand, but Glinda grabbed her arm and yanked her back onto the floor.
"Don't go," she whispered with a shaking voice, "Don't leave. Please."
Elphaba looked at her and saw pure unadulterated fear in the blue eyes of her roommate.
"Alright, I'll stay. But at least let me get someone to get a nurse," Elphaba pleaded, after a moment, Glinda nodded and Elphaba left for a moment to get one of the girls in the room over to fetch a nurse then hurried back to find Glinda curled into a ball in the corner of the bathroom, nestled between the toilet and the sink, her nightgown messed up and her tears heavy.
Elphaba, for the first time, didn't know what to say. And she had no explanation for the nurse when she arrived.
AUTHORS NOTE: Because I had recived so many reviews saying I should continue After Hell Ends, I decided to make a reversion of it. In this, Glinda is a young woman in Shiz, Elphaba is her roommate and she had been raped. In After Hell Ends she's older and it's unclear if she and Elphaba are still in contact. I do not know if I will continue this, you tell me. Also, what pairing this should be. Please review and read! Thank you!
